For grown-ups who want to get away from it all, a stay in Mayenne is perfect. This delightful part of Western Loire is named after the Mayenne River, great for kayaking and bird-watching. There's category 1 fishing for trout and salmon and, if you're keen on riding, there's over 600 miles of bridleways. Mayenne's towns have ancient origins - Mayenne and Laval have buildings dating back to the 11th century whilst Lassay Les Chateaux is visited for its castles and Chateau Gontier has half timbered houses. This is apple-growing country so cider is popular as are apple jam and chicken cooked with apple and honey.
